A potential permanent move for Sandro Ramirez hangs in the balance after Everton submitted their asking price for the striker.
The 24-year-old Goodison Park outcast is currently enjoying his third consecutive loan spell away from his parent club. After it was made clear there were no plans to involve him in the future set up, Everton have named their price for offloading Sandro for good.

Valladolid’s director Miguel Angel Gomez has shed light on the current situation and has revealed that despite wanting to see the Spaniard stay with the club, the transfer fee makes it tricky. The Merseyside outfit are reportedly looking for at least €5million (£4.4m) in exchange for a permanent deal for Sandro.
Gomez told Cadena Ser: “Sandro belongs to Everton, and you have already seen published that they intend to transfer him for around €5-6 million.
“Those are figures that Real Valladolid cannot afford,” (via Sport Witness).

In a previous report, Valladolid had made it clear that if they were to keep Sandro on their books – in either an extended loan deal or permanent move – the 24-year-old would have to consider a pay cut. According to El Norte de Castilla (via Sport Witness), the La Liga club have described it as ‘unfeasible’ to keep both Sandro and fellow high-earner Hatem Ben Arfa.
The Everton forward joined the Spanish outfit last summer and has tallied four goals and one assist so far (via Transfermarkt).
“We have the feeling that this season will end with 3-4 more goals,” Gomez commented. “But his situation is complex because of the requests to which his home club aspires.”
